...Please be there and help me feel that I am not alone in this. Your presence is all I ask for. Not your words, not anything else but your full presence-next to me, and that is enough. You don’t even need to give me any advice, because I won’t hear you.

Days later, I was okay but I was also NOT okay… The ups and downs continue and there are times like these recent days, that I was not feeling okay... it can feel disappointing and frustrating, but I was also okay with that.
